Chapter 685

Sylvia’s face was cold as she said, “What if | insist on bringing it in?”

The man sneered. “Then don’t blame us for being rough.” After that, each man in the group then revealed a small axe from

behind their backs. Sylvia was stunned. She had hidden two pieces of bread in her pockets, so even if she could not take the

whole breakfast set inside, it would not be too much of a problem. She just had to go inside and check on Thomas.

After thinking about it, she placed the breakfast on the ground.

The men stepped back and granted her access to the villa.

Sylvia ran into the villa. After she went inside, the man who had threatened her pulled out his phone and texted someone.

Meanwhile inside the villa, Thomas was sitting by the window in his room. He stared outside blankly, allowing the sun to shed its

brilliance on him.

He had on a white shirt and the combination with the brilliance of the sun on his pale skin made him look a little ghostly.

All of a sudden, the phone beside him lit up, notifying him that he had received a message. He glanced at the message and then

continued to stare at the man who was in front of the window opposite him. That man wore a suit of black and was sitting

elegantly with his back to the light.

The man had already been here for a while now but he had not spoken a word since he had sat down.

The two of them stared at each other in silence.

A few seconds later, Thomas took the initiative to break the ice. “Odell, | had nothing to do

pany’s crisis and | won’t admit to what I didn’t do. Go back”

“lm not here to talk about that.”

Thomas looked at Odell “Then, what is this about?”

“Imprisoning you, firing your butler and chef, giving you rotten food?” Odell looked at him with frosty eyes. “You set this all up to

make it look like you're starving in order to separate me and Sylvia. Why?”

Thomas morkingly grinned. “I don’t understand what you're talking about.”

“41 you don’t understand, then just remember what | am about to say.” Odell stood up. The sun cast a large shadow froin his

towering physique and overshadowed Thomas.

Odell scoffed at Thomas’ feeble demeanor. He straightened his body and turned to leave the room.

It was then that Thomas bolted up and dashed towards him. He stood directly in front of him to stop him from leaving. With his

pale face, he glared at his brother, looking as if his emotions were about to explode. Odell narrowed his eyes coldly.

At the same time, Sylvia ran all the way up the stairs and headed to Thomas’ room. Right before she knocked, she heard

Thomas’ weak but desperate hissing voice coming from inside the room, “Odell, it’s fine if you want to add to your crime, but

must you push me to the brink before you're willing to stop?” Bang! The moment he stopped speaking, the heavy thud of a kick

could be heard. Sylvia immediately pushed the door open after realizing what happened.

She saw Thomas on the ground, seemingly in utter pain. Odell’s leg was raised, as if he was about to kick Thomas a few more

times. Sylvia shouted, “Odell, stop it!” The man froze and looked at her with brows furrowed. Sylvia did not notice the shock in

his eyes. She ran to Thomas and opened her arms in front of Odell. She glared at him strongly and cried, “Odell, Thomas is

innocent, he didn’t do anything wrong. If you want to vent your anger, just vent it on me! Don’t hurt him, or | won't let this go

easily!”

She had not expected Odell to torture Thomas again. This was really too much! Odell’s towering figure froze. Seeing the

resentment that Sylvia was aiming towards him all because of Thomas, choked him. She looked as if she was prepared to

sacrifice herself and drag him down together with her.
